GIS TEAM

It is estimated that around 200 million people depend on root, tuber and banana crops for food and income in developing countries, particularly in the poorest regions of Africa, Asia and the Americas.

(RTB Annual Report-2013)

Pest and disease potential distribution mapping

GIS linked model + Climate change scenarios

• Potential distribution• Geographic areas with high risk of

infestation• Predict severity for resistant and

susceptible • Current and future potential risk

TuberMoth

CIAT, CIP, IITA and BIOVERSITY Joint forces to address RTB’s crop constraints,

and increase the impact for the benefit of smallholder farmers, consumers, and everyone

else involved in RTB value chains.

GIS team goal:

Online digital atlas for understanding the geographic dimension of roots tubers and banana crop improvement

GIS mapping on the cloud

ArcGIS Online support:• Map packages • APIs• Sample codes• Centralized

geospatial data• Location-based

Services

CGIAR-CSI platform • Money-cost saving• Ready-to-use

services• No additional

investment

Conclusions:

• RTBMaps provides a platform for the RTB crop research and development community to understand the geographic dimensions of these crops

• Digital mapping and targeting will help prioritize locations, places and regions where the RTB program can have the biggest impact

• No software, data or GIS expertise is needed, just an internet connection and a browser

• More data and new functionality need to be included in the Atlas to continue to support the RTB research and development community in addressing food security issues related to roots, tubers and bananas
